Produktinformation

• Beschreibung: Aminocaproic acid is a non-specific lysing agent that is used in the treatment of acute blood clots. Aminocaproic acid has minimal toxicity and low-dose effects, and can be used for the treatment of thrombotic disorders. It also has biological properties that are different from those of aminocaproate, which can lead to a more rapid dissolution of the clot. Aminocaproic acid is an organic compound that belongs to the class of dicarboxylic acids. It is synthesized from two molecules of aminoacetic acid by the enzyme aminocaproic acid synthetase. The synthesis occurs in a two-step process: first, caprylic acid reacts with ATP to form aminopropyl-adenylate (APA), followed by hydrolysis by APA lyase to form aminocaproic acid.
